Velvet Rebel recaps This Week In Music as covered by Strangeways Radio and Slicing Up Eyeballs. He recaps new music from The Pretenders and Gorillaz with Peter Hook (New Order) and in home performances from House Of Love and Curt Smith (Tears For Fears)
Gorillaz have launched a series called Song Machine which is a series of singles and music videos that will be released throughout 2020. It will contain 13 episodes to be released spontaneously throughout the year. The latest episode #3 features Peter Hook and Georgia.
As first reported by NME, Peter Hook announced during his Joy Division Orchestrated concert at Royal Albert Hall that he will be reuniting Monaco with singer David Potts. Of course, the two have never been too far apart as Potts has been touring with Peter Hook And The Light over the years.
Ex-New Order bass player, Peter Hook, auctioned of a variety of memorabilia at an auction this past week. In this auction, Hook has originally intended on selling letters between Ian Curtis and his former girlfriend Annik Honoré. Just prior to the event, he changed his mind and withdrew the submissions. Members of New Order were not happy about this decision and we quite pleased that Hook ultimately changed his mind.
